Question for scooter riders

**John** · 31st August 2005, 21:52

never met anyone that waved to me when I rode the scooter - sister says they dont either - but I know alot of scooter riders are completely into it, I saw a HUGE group of scooters going along SH1 one day at least 30 or so .

I missed this before sorry..

Let's just say that I wouldn't wave/wave back to no Sports/superbike/harly/dirt-adventure/scooter/racebike rider who is riding around on a proper ride with jandals and sandals. They have 0 % of my respect and I would never aknoweledge being a part of the same comunity as them.

Tony Rees is like a hero or a mentor figure for me and even him, if he rode around with jandals and sandals on an actual club ride of some sort, I would never look at him the same. He won last years New Zealand Superbikes, so no one has doubts about his abbilities, that's got nothing to do with it.

Yes, I agree. I tell people every time they come on one of my rides what will happen to them how their toes will be ground down the little stumps and they same with people who dont wear gloves, who wear t-shirts or a jumper I also dont agree with half face helmets but thats life, people are idiots. I have come off a few times now and I know If one of thoes times I wasnt wearing protective gear I would be scared for life.
BTW who is this "Tony Rees" you speak of?

That's a proof that NZ needs more coverage for motorcycle race events.

Tony Rees is one of the top riders in NZ. IMO He is by far the smoothes rider out of the lot and I've seen him take out countless wins.

Get one and come racing speed medic.
Thanks moto
